I’m kind of surprised that this hasn’t been done before – there are plenty of similar track maps out there for other major transit cities like London and Paris – but this is very nicely executed indeed. 

The map looks great, is easily understood even without consulting the legend, and has copious footnotes for those who want to really dive deep into the inner workings of the subway. Extra kudos for cleverly fitting the label “MANHATTAN” neatly within Central Park, solving an otherwise awkward problem.

Also: who knew that JFK was so freaking huge?

Head on over to Andrew’s project page for more information about the project, and to download a full PDF of the map for close-up study.
